As part of our work with the UK Parliament to create the fantastic Parliament Square display for the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, we are showcasing each of the flags created by school children from throughout the country. This flag design comes from Abington Vale Primary School, Northamptonshire.

“The main inspiration for our flag design choice was: – The Northampton RFU (Saints) colours – The county “Rose of the Shires” emblem which also represents the cricket team. – and the world famous link of the shoe industry to Northampton There were 8 students involved in the design of the flag in Year 6. We hope you enjoy our design! Thank you.”
